Hormones and growth. The main hormones concerned with growth are pituitary growth hormone, thyroid hormone, the sex hormones testosterone and estrogen, and the pituitary gonadotropic (sex-gland-stimulating) hormones.
Human growth hormone is an essential hormone produced by the body in small amounts throughout the life span. It is most important, however, in young people as it is critical for linear growth (height). The most common use for human growth hormone is therefore in young people who are short, either because of genetics or because of an underlying medical problem. This is the only use of growth hormone for which there is good evidence. The treatments are very expensive, but they do lead to an increase in height in this population. There have been some experimental uses of growth hormone in the elderly to reverse some of these features of aging.
